Kathryn Lavin Brave; Izzy Berman; Debita Basu; Alexis Szkotak – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2025
Manipulative-based instructional sequences have proven to be successful with students with disabilities. However, instruction must not only support the acquisition of conceptual and procedural knowledge but also build on students' strengths. This article describes how teachers can use manipulative-based instructional sequences to support the…

Jessica Rodrigues; Shannon Locke; Emily L. Singell; Lindsey G. Mirielli – Intervention in School and Clinic, 2024
The number line is a powerful tool for supporting students' understanding of fraction magnitude. Fractions are a critical component of mathematics instruction in the elementary and intermediate grades. More specifically, understanding fraction magnitude is central to mathematical development. Yet, fractions are challenging for many students,…

Ashley Shaw; Robin Parks Ennis – Beyond Behavior, 2024
Fractions are an imperative skill for students to master to achieve success in future mathematics concepts and classes. Yet many students, especially those experiencing math difficulties and/or characteristics of emotional and behavioral disorders, continue to exit elementary school without a concrete foundation of fractions skills required to…

Taylor Lesner; Marah Sutherland; Cayla Lussier; Ben Clarke – Intervention in School and Clinic, 2024
Building proficiency with fraction arithmetic poses a consistent challenge for students with learning difficulties or disabilities in mathematics. This article illustrates how teachers can use the number line model to support struggling learners in making sense of fraction arithmetic. Number lines are a powerful tool that can be used to help…

Margaret M. Flores; Vanessa M. Hinton; Kelly B. Schweck – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2024
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the concrete-representational-abstract--integrated (CRA-I) sequence on students with learning disabilities' performance when learning fraction and decimal concepts. Three elementary-level students in Grades 4 and 6 participated in a single-case multiple probe across behaviors study. The…

Mousley, Keith – American Annals of the Deaf, 2021
Fractions and the understanding of fraction concepts affect later conceptualization of advanced mathematics and affect how people live their everyday lives. Research shows that many deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) students have not mastered fraction skills even by the time they enter college. In the present article, the author looks at literature…

Hunt, Jessica H.; Martin, Kristi; Khounmeuang, Andy; Silva, Juanita; Patterson, Blain; Welch-Ptak, Jasmine – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2023
One of the most persistent areas of difficulty in mathematics for children with learning disabilities (LDs) and difficulties is fractions. We report the development and initial testing of an intervention designed to increase access to and advancement in conceptual understanding. Our asset-based theory of change--a tested and confirmed learning…

Zhang, Shudong; Yu, Shuyuan; Xiao, Jing; Liu, Yunting; Jiang, Ting – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
Fractions are an important mathematical concept for elementary students. However, students with mathematics learning disabilities (MLD) struggle with learning fractions. Research has demonstrated that concrete-representational-abstract (CRA) instruction is an effective practice for students with learning and developmental disabilities. Here we…

Bouck, Emily C.; Park, Jiyoon; Cwiakala, Katie; Whorley, Abbie – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2020
Fractions are an important mathematical concept for both more advanced mathematical concepts and daily living activities (e.g., cooking) and thus are important for all students to learn. In this study, researchers explored the use of the virtual-abstract (VA) instructional sequence to teach three middle school students with disabilities three…

Hwang, Jiwon; Riccomini, Paul J. – British Journal of Special Education, 2019
Developing an understanding of fractions is critical, as it is the first connection of whole-number properties to rational numbers within a single framework. The unique properties of fractions necessitate solution processes that are distinctive and often more complicated than whole-number processes, resulting in many students struggling with…

Herold, Katherine H.; Bock, Allison M.; Murphy, Melissa M.; Mazzocco, Michèle M. M. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2020
When a student struggles with a mathematics task, adults may rephrase or expand initial task instructions to clarify instructions or scaffold problem solving. Yet expanded instructions may not benefit all children, especially children with a mathematics learning disability (MLD). Here, we explore whether expanded instructions differentially affect…

Silva, Juanita M.; Hunt, Jessica H.; Welch-Ptak, Jasmine – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2023
We present the evolving fraction conceptions of two elementary school children with mathematics learning disabilities (MLD). We use qualitative analyses to capture the mathematical knowledge and experiences of each child and show how teaching was used to support advancement of their fractional reasoning. Results illustrate two viable pathways of…

Chen, Briella Baer; Yakubova, Gulnoza; Hughes, Elizabeth M. – Preventing School Failure, 2022
As teachers are faced with increasing demands to meet the needs of diverse learners, such as the growing number of students with ASD, the need to accommodate each learner and provide opportunities for individualized learning becomes critical. Therefore, the aim of this A-B single-case study was to explore a variety of support strategies (e.g.,…

Silva, Juanita M. – Insights into Learning Disabilities, 2021
This study presents three students who are bilingual with learning dis/abilities in small group mathematics discussions. The three students showcased their abilities as problem solvers, justifiers, and evaluators of basic operation and fractional understanding. This paper presents the teaching practices used to support the mathematical agency of…

Jessica H. Hunt; Michelle Taub; Matthew Marino; Kenneth Holman; Alejandra Duarte; Brianna Bentley – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
We analyzed the effects of a game-based, supplemental fraction curriculum on fourth and fifth grade students' fraction knowledge, engagement, and STEM interest. Students with and without disabilities with intersecting identities (e.g., race, disability status, gender) comprised the sample. Results indicate significant differences in fraction…
